2 of my big toes are hurt and I cant do much exercise since many months ago. I feel like to exercise so much now, be it any kind of exercise. I just wish to move my body. But, I cant, even walking up the staircases now hurt me. Playing badminton or jogging is now a way to enjoy life to me now. What do you think about doing exercise and enjoying life?

I hope your toes get better soon. Yes I think exercise is a way to enjoy life. I have a bad back, for about one and a half year, I could not do much of anything. My legs,knees,feet,back and neck were killing me. The last 4 months I am feeling much better, the pains are less. I am doing regular sports again, and I love it. Take care, have a nice weekend.

i do believe exercise is really good to the body but i don't think that i will enjoy doing exercise. i have tried before and it is such a bore. but i admit if it is fun if we do it within a group. anyways, i still wanted to continue it alone like by doing treadmill but still it will be such a hard discipline for me to do it faithfully and consistently.

yeah i am more to the health benefits rather than the fun in getting to exercise. it was not or never been fun to me. it was just pure hard work that seems to makes the time stood still no matter how short my exercise regime is.

hotsummer, oh well, if you think discipline involves in this, I would say you do not enjoy your life by doing exercise at all! It is merely to keep you healthy.

I think exercising is very enjoyable. Actually, I got addicted to it when I was in college to the point that I can exercise for 6 hours straight. But right now I still exercise but 1 hour a day is enough. Happy MyLotting!

well i personally feel happy when i excercise but research shows that excercising releases some chemical that helps make you happy, the same with chocolate. and it makes u healthy, and with some people doing excercise not makes them feel better about themselves, its a win-win situation

goolonga, you got a point here. I relate it to this: Doing something in life that can make a person happy is actually what we call it as enjoy life. Thank you very much for your response.

I just had two-hour badminton this morning. Yes. doing exercise is so nice that having a shower after sweating is quite comfortable. I also like badminton. And another kind of sports I love is roller skating. Roller skating outdoors hearing the wind blowing beside my ears makes me free and relaxed. In summur, I always go swimming with my friends. It's very interesting to play with water. ^.^

Well i was not much into exercising or working out a couple of weeks ago. Generally I play cricket and table tennis with my friends and @ office. Couple of weeks back i checked out the gym at my office started developing a decent workout regime of cycling and tread mill. Now it really feels good to know that you are taking steps towards better health and better soul. I have started loving my workouts!

yes, excercise is important. But it must be done carefully with proper training. Injuries do occur when proper care is not taken while you excercise. Excercising keeps you fit always. But the most important thing is to do it carefully
